Richard W. Robinson

Richard W. Robinson, age 87 of Warren, passed away on December 31, 2019 at Windsor House of Champion. Dick was born in Warren on July 13, 1932 to Willard & Helen (Marshman) Robinson.

After attending Warren G. Harding High School, Dick joined the Army proudly serving his country in Korea during the Korean War. After his honorable discharge, Dick settled into his career as an electrician for Republic Steel.

On October 19, 1957, Dick was united in marriage to the love of his life, the former Joyce Garris, whom preceded him in death on October 7, 2018.

When Dick wasn’t working, he was devoted to his family. He and Joyce wrote a family cookbook together and he enjoyed studying his family genealogy. However, and most important, Dick’s passion was being a loving husband and father; his greatest joy being surrounded by his grandchildren.
